Methods: Older adults were assessed twice with the interRAI Community Health Assessment and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The main outcome was limiting going outdoors due to an AR\/FF. Medications were recorded by trained assessors. Results: Participants ( n = 441) had a mean age of 80.3 ( SD = 7.1) years, most were aged 65+ (96.8%) and 29.3% reported activity restriction. Taking nervous system active or cardiovascular medications was associated with AR\/FF. In a multivariate model, the main predictors were having 3+ comorbid health conditions, lower (i.e., worse) scores on the BBS, having difficulty with climbing stairs, and having a visual impairment. Discussion: Modifiable risk factors, related to functional impairments, such as difficulties with balance and vision, appear to be more important predictors than medications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0898264311422598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,21]],"date-time":"2011-10-21T20:16:40Z","timestamp":1319228200000},"page":"269-286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Role of Medications in Predicting Activity Restriction Due to a Fear of Falling"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Dawn M.","family":"Guthrie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula C.","family":"Fletcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Berg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Evelyn","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Boumans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John P.","family":"Hirdes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Homewood Health Centre, Guelph, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0898264311422598","volume-title":"Logistic regression using the SAS system: Theory and application","author":"Allison P.
